‘Loose cannon’ Trump would be terrible for Republicans

With the March 8 primary fast approaching, we have an important decision to make. Who do we want to be the president? Donald Trump would be the worst nominee for my party, both from an electability standpoint, and from a performance standpoint in my lifetime. I know a large number of Republicans, especially social conservatives and libertarians who would skip the presidential race if he was the nominee due to his temperament and his hypocrisy. Mr. Trump talks about illegal immigration, while illegals build Trump Tower. He talks about “winning” while his business goes bankrupt four times. He opposes Hillary now, but donated to her campaign and was a registered Democrat as late as 2009 and had the Clintons at his wedding. He still supports Planned Parenthood and supports eminent domain for gains of private business, including parking lots for his casino. That doesn’t account for all his outrageous statements, particularly about women. While I am far from politically correct, there’s a difference between “telling it like it is” and being a “loose cannon” who insults people and does not tell the truth.

While I support Ted Cruz, I like John Kasich and Marco Rubio as well. As a conservative, Trump would be a disaster — much as Geoffrey Fieger was for the Democrats in 1998.
